Wednesday 12th July (9.30am-13.00pm)
This workshop is for trainee doctors who want to find sustainable ways to maintain a healthy work life balance through training and beyond. It can be a challenge to maintain balance at the best of times and the pandemic has taken its toll on all of us, leaving many trainees feeling exhausted and close to burnout. Whether maintaining a healthy balance sounds like ‘the impossible dream’ or simply a goal you feel you are fairly close to but could do with some help to achieve, this half-day workshop will support you. Balance is different for everyone so by using an explorative, strengths-based approach, you will review and define what balance means for you and how to put this into practice in a sustainable way to meet your preferences and needs.
Facilitated by two PSU coaches with significant experience supporting trainees dealing with stress, burnout and loss of balance, the workshop takes a group coaching and interactive approach. It will involve large and small group discussion, with activities and practical tools to help you define and sustain a healthier balance in your life both now and in the future.
Learning Outcomes
- to explore and define what balance means for you as a trainee doctor
- to review what tips you out of balance
- to devise strategies to support you throughout training and beyond
